Common Beginner Mistakes to Avoid
Ordering only one item
Always consolidate 3+ items. Single-item shipping is never cost-effective.
Ignoring size charts
Measure a similar item you own. Asian sizing runs small.
Approving bad QC photos
Use our QC guide to check every photo carefully.
Choosing cheapest shipping
Balance speed and cost. SAL is cheap but takes 30+ days.
Declaring too high
Keep declared value realistic. Over-declaring attracts customs attention.
